Duffy's New Video Premier

I can't believe that this just premiered in the UK and its already on youtube, but checking I see this was done by her record label Polydor. This is the new single by Duffy "Warwick Avenue" I love the video.. very stripped down and simple. I think they could have done more with it sure... but I don't think they needed to... I would have liked a few more "pan out" shots... but hey I love it regardless.... for your viewing pleasure folks.. a direct embeded link

It damn near... damn near... damn near brooo ooo oo ke my heart

I was feeling melancholy today... a good day for the blues. Last night I came across one of the best blues albums I've heard in recent years, now I'm not talking soul, I'm not talking R&B, and I'm not even referring to jazz, what I'm talking about is the melancholy without being depressing BLUES... and the diva of them herself (even in her late 60s 70s) who's giving me this great music is none other than Bettye LaVette with her newest album (2007) "The Scene of the Crime".. I'd been meaning to listen to this one for a while now.. and just never seemed to get around to it but boy o boy was I blown away!!! Every song shines on this album including covers of Willie Nelson and Elton John (and you can't tell!!) but when it gets to the second to last track on the album "Before the Money Came In (The Battle of Bettye LaVette) she rips her heart open and lets us see her wounds and scars... she belts out in a broken voice all the pain all the struggle she went through in her music career only to finally get a record deal for who she was without anyone trying to change her... and damn near breaking her heart. Listen, mellow, and enjoy.

The Little Things...

Isn't amazing how a little thing like ink on a piece of paper can make one feel so full of absolute joy. A poster I've been searching for for the past 5 years or so has finally made it into my house and into a frame today. I love it.. its everything I thought it would be.. I can't wait to get it up on the wall near my others and give it a true home. I feel as if my collection is nearly complete due to the fact that at least one other (that I didnt' even know existed!!) has also joined the ranks of my lovely lovely band posters. *aaaaaahhh* the satisfaction of obtaining that "ungettable get" I would just like to say thank you my friend "H" (you know who you are) for getting this for me.. it means a ton!!!

Life...

So I've been insanely busy at work lately and haven't had time to do much with the blog..but I'm still alive and loving music.. I'll post some new stuff soon... or maybe I'll just start treating this like a blog... ehhh we'll find out LOL.
